I ended up swapping my 7970 out for a GTX680 - I found the driver situation even 6 months after release to be less than stellar. I have heard that this has improved a lot since release though. There may be hope for the 7970 sat boxed up on my desk yet :P

Trust me, I do my fair share of whinging. Surfy is the most positive person here!
@LtMatt it wont last - its just the latest in a long line of EA controversies. At the moment there is just a bit of a bandwagon.
I just stick to servers run by Surfy & co.

I purchased premium. I intended to buy all the DLCs as they came out anyway - so it made sense in terms of price.
The one thing I am not happy about is the priority queue thing. It makes me feel like a proper dick and there is no way to turn the thing off.

Lol "PC gaming is dying". Someone has been saying that every other day since the first XBox. It will always be a niche market compared to consoles, but it is far from dying - just look at the kickstarter successes of late.

Not entirely true. As far as I am aware, black screenshots can still be caused by a multitude of non-cheating reasons. I wouldn't ban for a blank screenshot, much less accuse someone of cheating because of it.

This guy is legit and awesome.
I have my own personal hosting with him and he has never ceased to provide a quality service that I am happy to pay for. Well worth a look if you are in the market for some hosting.

Personally not really feeling the excitement around this game any more - especially having pre-ordered RO2 and the new Deus Ex game. Very much considering cancelling my pre-order and seeing how the reviews pan out on release.
